No big self help lemmy so I had to ask it somewhere else. Alright, I’m an university student but:

  • I don’t like too much noise (no parties or bars).
  • I only go to university twice per week and it’s far from home.
  • I don’t like dating apps.
  • Social media imo stresses me out instead of helping me.
  • Can’t steal friends of friends: New city, I know no one here.
  • I suck abismally at sports. Also I don’t have a sporty profile.
  • Board/cardgame shops usually catter to people aged 30 and over as they can actually buy the games.

I’m just, like, out of ideas where to meet people aged 16-26. My best shot so far was in public transport but I’m usually too tired to bother. Been thinking of joining a DnD table or something just to meet people already rofl.

  • This is hard since I study CS. It’s a pretty individualistic setting where people usually study by watching videoclasses and doing lone projects. The study group is usually the clique you make on the first month of classes. Ever since my first two cliques dissolved as people dropped out I found myself pretty much stranded alone on academical matters.

    I live in Brazil and the night is scary. Parks are dominated by the homeless and addicts. Gas stations are usually inhabited by conservative folk I’m far too queer to mingle with (this entire country but the southeast is basically a red state). No metros here and the bus station is also somewhat of a dangerous place at night.

    On sports, school was already a nightmare. Always picked off last, didn’t have reflexes, didn’t even have the strength to throw the ball to score on basketball. Maybe martial arts. They’re usually cool.

    Thanks for your reply.
